Founding Electrical Engineer (Full-Time)
About the role
Founding Electrical Engineer to define and own the electrical architecture of the Aseon Pod, working closely with mechanical and software teams to enable robotic pitstops for self-driving fleets.
Responsibilities
- Own the full electrical architecture of the Aseon Pod: power electronics, charging integration, power distribution, network communication, motor control, embedded control boards and sensor systems.
- Design the pod interface with DC fast-charging networks, including protocol handling for OCPP and ISO 15118
- Develop wiring harnesses and electrical interconnects for robotic actuation, inspection sensors and vehicle-contact subsystems
- Lead electrical systems through prototyping, EVT, DVT, safety validation and NPI, personally involved at each stage
- Drive EMI/EMC compliance and certification for outdoor commercial deployment (UL, CE, relevant IEC standards)
- Work closely with mechanical and robotics engineers on electromechanical integration across the full pod
- Work with suppliers and contract manufacturers on component selection, sourcing and production
Qualifications
- 3+ years of electrical engineering experience with a demonstrable track record of taking hardware from schematic to shipped product
- Comfort working across electrical, mechanical and software boundaries and resolving cross-disciplinary tradeoffs
- Strong understanding of industrial control systems, sensors, actuators, power distribution and communication interfaces used in electromechanical systems
- Industrial communication protocols e.g. EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, EtherCAT etc.
- Ability to work in a high-agency environment: making sound decisions quickly with limited resources and without a large support structure
- Strong communication skills: able to translate complex electrical concepts clearly across mechanical, software and non-technical audiences
- BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics or a related field

About Aseon Labs
Robotic pitstops for self-driving cars
Aseon Labs builds robotic pitstops for self-driving cars. Autonomous vehicles can drive themselves, but they still rely on humans and centralized depots for charging, cleaning and servicing multiple times per day. As fleets scale, the operational layer makes up 70% of the cost of the service and is of the largest barrier to uptime, profitability and market expansion. Aseon Pods are robotic micro-depots that can be deployed directly within operating zones, bringing fleet servicing to where demand exists. By eliminating unnecessary depot trips and automating routine operations, Aseon helps autonomous fleet operators increase uptime, reduce reset cost by 50% and unlock scale. Founded by the team behind Pushme, which deployed 5,000 mobility infrastructure locations across 40 cities before its acquisition by TIER-Dott, Aseon is funded and building product in Redwood City for pilot deployment with major autonomous vehicle operators.
